By satellite, open or fiber, the way for Telmex TV is not easy
Telefonos de Mexico has spent a decade waiting to enter the television business in Mexico, in restricted or open. In 2006 he had to fulfill a Framework Convention IInterconexión and since 2014 with a Decalogue of asymmetric regulations. And if the IFT gives his approval, Telmex must still find a way to reach televisions Mexican households.
The path that Telmex must travel to deliver television in Mexico, in open or restricted mode, still has long, even with the versions that point to Telefonos de Mexico can offer tv overnight, if the IFT defines that the company has complied with a series of ten asymmetric regulations imposed since 2014.
in the scenario the Federal Telecommunications Institute came to the conclusion that America Movil and its subsidiary Telmex have complied with the decalogue of measures, there would still be by venting the research weighs heavily on the commercial alliance billing Telmex-Dish for possible unfair advantage of free the benefits of relaying signals known as must carry and must offer

and once delivered these two major obstacles and thereby achieving the authorization certificate to provide additional services, Telefonos de Mexico would have to compete for suitable spectrum for broadcasting, if that was their intention business, as the current law states that to offer broadcast TV, new suitors must compete in a tender for those signals and Telmex does now.
in the scenario that Telmex decided to enter the business television via satellite pay for, would have to compete for suitable spectrum to offer that particular service or if necessary, seek a third party to lease it. Or look for ways to leverage their network of over 190,000 kilometers of fiber optics to send TV signals pays out there, but like a company cable companies more.
America Movil, which controls Telmex, he recognized a few weeks ago that hardly Telefonos de Mexico will enter the TV market in 2016, this time factor and investigations by the IFT compliance with its asymmetrical regulations.
on the one hand, the time would not be enough to Telmex to enter to compete for signals broadcast TV, as the regulator has confirmed that the tender new frequencies will take place by mid-year and its decision on whether Telmex met or not with the specific regulations will be known until late November.
as for the offering pay-TV satellite, Telmex has a number of spectrum concessions with offering shuttle services, telephony or Internet. The concessions are in the bands 400 MHz and 10, 23 and 3.4 GHz, the latter in the crosshairs of the authorities for an alleged breach of Telmex in the full exploitation of the same.
Some of these concessions cover the entire national and Telefonos de Mexico territory, if technically possible, no information if through them could offer a pay TV, especially when its concession in the 3.4 GHz expire in 2018 .

Telmex, then, would have to hire spectrum capacity to carry TV service satellite pay Mexican households and some of their suppliers of this raw material could be satellite companies Eutelsat or Mexsat, or dip satellites Embratel-Star One, for example.
“If you take away today Telmex restriction does not mean that tomorrow you can already give their pay TV service or television. To go to the open TV, for example, you would have to go through the bidding to come and win spectrum for it; and if it’s for pay-TV would have to get fit for that service spectrum, “he recalled Augustine Ramirez, specializing in telecommunications consulting firm Aura Boros lawyer

“and not necessarily have to have spectrum for it, you may hire one of the satellite companies and send its contents. For its fixed network and send that could become a service and competition from cable companies, a Izzi, for example, with its fiber optics. But it happens that some would say what is sent there is no video and television but could use another debate, but as I have or should have its authorization certificate … “Solomon talked Padilla, specializing in telecommunications firm SAC Lawyers lawyer.
America Movil believes that it has complied with the ten specific regulations that indicated the IFT and the regulator define in November how much and how they have translated these into greater competition and concurrence of actors, as well as better services to the user.
“Now what is missing is that research -on-Dish- Telmex alliance and compliance measures defined, and to surrender his license and to and after start its way into the television business model you decide to venture, “said Agustin Ramirez, former president of the Amedi,” will undoubtedly still a long way to go to Telmex “.
